British Legion's Nazi Trip Revealed in Archive Photos

A delegation from the British Legion met Adolf Hitler in July 1935, recently uncovered photographs show. The 148 images were in a swastika-embossed album found by an employee.

They show British veterans of World War I being saluted by Germans, and delegation leader Maj Francis Fetherston-Godley shaking hands with Hitler's deputy Rudolph Hess. A concentration camp visit was not photographed, but details were included in the Legion's archive.
